A very Jesuit reflection by George Santayana

"Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect, and it is shameful to surrender it too soon or to the first comer: there is nobility in preserving it coolly and proudly through long youth, until at last, in the ripeness of instinct and discretion, it can be safely exchanged for fidelity and happiness."

About Me

Not much any of us can do about the odd habit of counting
birthdays, but we give those numbers so much power in our lives, you can count
on me to fight every expectation that I find limiting. I am Ivy League and
Jesuit educated (and former Jesuit), a writer/editor, a totally out gay
activist, a non-churchy but very focused mediation practitioner—and I hope a
good partner, son, brother, and friend. I can hardly believe that we LGBT folks have the right to marry in these United States.
